We paired the Aura Mobile BT with both the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 and the NEC N908 easily and successfully. You can answer and end calls with the device, but you can't make calls from it; instead, you have to dial the number with your cell phone prior to using the speakerphone. As was expected, the dual-speaker system emitted superior sound, coming through loud and clear in a car as well as in an office conference room. Callers also reported great audio quality on their end thanks to the device's echo-cancellation and noise-reduction technology. Since most cell phones have built-in speakerphones anyway, we're not sure of the Aura Mobile BT's potential value here. That said, its noise-reduction technology does improve the quality of the conference call, so if you like to use your cell phone's speakerphone feature a lot, this could be worth the purchase.
The Aura Mobile BT comes with a visor clip for the car, cables to be used with your computer for VoIP calls, and a cable to be used with a cordless phone (which depends on if your cordless handset has a headset jack). There's also a corded, external mic which you can attach to the speakerphone for better outgoing sound and a car charger so that you can charge it in the car. We were disappointed that there is no USB charging option. The Aura Mobile BT has a rated talk time of 4 hours and a rated standby time of 24 hours.
